七、教学反思
１．根据新课标教学理念，尽量发挥学生在课堂中的主体地位。
２．运用图片的呈现使动作直观地展现在学生的面前，多媒体图片教新单词和句型，使学生在课堂上能更直接更立体地记忆，加深了对单词的理解，也降低了难度，以免学生抽象地记单词和句型,能清晰，直观地操练和巩固句型，突出了重点。在说的过程中予以图片加以配合，帮助理解；由模仿到练习，反复刺激学生的感官，增强学生对新知的理解和运用。 ３．利用多媒体播放听力内容，可以反复播放，不用倒带，节省了大量的时间。再用录音机加以配合，让学生跟读，练习了朗读。
４．对话使用角色表演。结合课文内容，每教一个情景句型，让学生用当天所学的,来表演。尽量创设真是的语言环境，让学生训练所学句型，提高了运用语言交际的能力。
５．不足之处，在于初三学生英语两极分化现象特别严重，因此教学中部分学生和学习小组跟不上节奏，未能进入到教学活动中来。在今后的教学中，更要多多注意面向全体学生，使不同层次的学生都乐学，并学有所得，使教学走向希望。
